The Beatles are the most popular band of all time and are famous for being late to the party with new ways of listening to music, so yes.

 

Okay then.

Think the news said when the Beatles change you know the music industry has changed!
Is this really important news? :lol:

 

Funny, I was at a Christmas dinner today and someone randomly mentioned it :lol:

Wouldn't be surprised if they became the most streamed band in a few years time on spotify. They should get a lot of consistent streaming - although may take a while until they get ahead of bands such as One Direction/Coldplay etc. Quite happy to have them on spotify now though!

 

Spotify UK update

54 Come together (110,320 streams)

83 Let it be

88 Hey Jude

93 Love me do

94 Help!

100 I want to hold your hand

 

27 songs in the Top 200 chart.

 

Best country is Turkey with 41 songs in their Top 200 chart.

I expect (another) huge spike for them on New Years Eve.

Now Spotify is revealing just how successful this launch has been, and the numbers revealed prove the band is still relevant 45 years after the members parted ways. During the first three days more than 70 million Beatles songs were streamed and surprisingly 65 percent of the listeners were under the age of 34.

 

Billboard reported that after just two days of streaming, songs by The Beatles had been added to more than 673,000 Spotify playlists.

 

From Showbiz411,

Meantime, Apple lost its exclusivity on the Beatles for iTunes after five years. What’s interesting is that there was no announcement of the Apple deal coming to an end. Now that the Beatles have finally remixed their hits on the “1+1” album, it’s only a matter of time before they sell all new mixes on all the albums. The sound on “1+1” is amazing. If you play it side by side with the 2009 box set, there’s a huge difference. So my guess is Christmas 2017 we get the Beatles Remixed. We’ll have to buy the catalog all over again. It’s brilliant. Evil genius.

 

The least streamed track on Spotify appears to be Matchbox with just under 27,000 plays.

 

The Beatles on You tube since September 2014 - 1,443,320,628 views. Impressive!

Top video is Let it be with 55,451,430 total views.

As a side note, who actually owns the rights to the Beatles' tracks now?

 

Universal, but they can't do anything with them unless Apple (the Beatles company, not the computer ones) agree.
